HI, i am a male 35, 160 lbs and healthy. I have been diagnosed with epididymitis due to a bacteria infection. Taking sulfa/trimo antibiotics for 2 weeks had to go off cipro because of bad side effects. Should the sulfa/trimo antibiotics cure this? If not what is the next step? thanks. Brandon
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It depends up on the organism.In some patients who have been treated with other antibiotics sulfa might work.Again it should be taken till your infection subsides. So consult an urologist and take treatment according to his guidance and supervision.
